Rally Beijing - Paris will take place in the Altai Territory again in 2016.
Initially the route in 2016 was not supposed to go through the territory of the region. The crew from Barnaul took the third place in their class in this rally in 2013. It was the only crew that represented Russia at such a prestigious event for the first time.
The participation of the Altai team was made possible by a grant from the Governor of the Altai Territory in tourism, as well as due to the support from the sponsors of the organizers of the rally.
